Although some of the British name dictionaries I own claim Gwynedd is predominantly masculine (saying Gwyneth is a feminine form of "masculine" Gwynedd) figures from the UK census found on Ancestry.com show that Gwynedd has been predominantly female in the UK since census records began in 1841. The first example of a female Gwynedd is in 1851. The first male Gwynedd doesn't show up until 1881; there are 2 male and 13 female Gwynedds in the index to the 1881 census. In the 1939 England and Wales register, the latest UK information available on Ancestry's "census" lists, there are 34 male and 117 female Gwynedds listed. So this site is correct in putting "F" ahead of "M" in usage.
